Write two poems in 2 hours with Tom Branfoot & perform on the Poetry Stage at Word Play in Sadler's Yard.
About this Event

This generative poetry workshop will look at work by Ben Lerner, Morgan Parker and Peter Gizzi to think about poetic voice, how we are all just visiting our voice and how we can visit others' when writing through a persona.

Whether you’re talking to yourself, addressing an audience or speaking through character – when we actively use our voice, we are playing with language. But are we using language or is language using us? Are we the speaker or are we being spoken?

In this fun and thought-provoking workshop with Manchester Cathedral’s writer-in-residence Tom Branfoot there will be the opportunity to write two poems in two hours and perform them on the Poetry Stage which opens at 2pm.

Note: This workshop is for adults only. No prior experience is needed.
